even within such a small timeframe as one. for years. actions speak louder than words the profer says if that is true then this statement from the turkish prime minister drowns in the evidence uncovered by a lebanese correspondent when she went to the border between turkey and syria and stumbled upon what seems to be a weapons delivery spot yet akin to the scene was surreal wire a dark plane filled with all of trees armed men and in flashing lights from trucks packed with weapons each syrian group takes its share in leaves i was asked not to film but the immensity of the scene of the journalist in me. was that was interrupted for days on end by turkish officers before being released to lebanon once she was released and her material returned to her she realized the pictures filmed on the turkish syrian border were erased while in the custody of turkish officials the free syrian army is headquarters for months were located in southern

turkey before they were moved back to syria in late september numerous reports filed from the region pointed to turkey as the main gateway of military and financial support for the syrian rebels so when un karrar speaks of peace in the region few seem to believe its words they have proxies actually do airing is number one how we have a fire burning in syria. it's back in the rebels' sending arms so it's played a very bad rolling. along in this conflict the turkish role i guess you have the audacity to bring down a syrian civilian aircraft carrying for a. just stalling very aggressive manner so they pocket absolutely appalling in the span of twenty four hours on kharaj russia for supposedly delivering military equipment to the syrian government and struck a kurdish base in neighboring iraq again proving its talk of a common aber hood is just that nothing more than words by acting as

a mediator between the rebel fighter. and their supporters does little in terms of putting an end to the bloodshed in syria it says it wants nothing but stability and calm in the region but its actions seem to only worsen the situation that's already highly explosive in tel aviv it in the gulf r.t. . thousands according to mark almond professor of international relations photos of all kinds university the incident of the syrian plane is part of encores proxy war games there are some regime. to paraphrase called show me the contents of the cargo hold in a larger report on our hind something in it called the diplomatic incident and this is in a sense what. it is very hostile the government in syria it is supporting the rebels it's allowing as the b.b.c. showed earlier this week large wanted to use my mission and then to turn and also. to enter syria from turkey and of course the conclusion to people so why is it
12:07 am
right we are appearance a conduit to one side in a civil war when you know that it's just a war between democrats most of them do you see the problem or some of these workers may already have found their way back into town. tensions also in there over the israel lebanon border says it found that reached three hundred kilometers into israel's tightly guarded airspace a message that expected that experts say could signal its readiness for war. and also coming out journalists and i said it standing before civilian charges demanding this shroud of secrecy be lifted from the court martial of whistleblowing soldier bradley in. the heart and hostile show from the two american vice presidential candidates as they faced each other for the first and only time but where obama and romney remained curtiz in
12:08 am
their debate here it was all about making a point accusing each other of lies disinformation and even ignorance they showed that there is no love lost between republicans and democrats more now on the debate california state professor paul child and professor third welcome to the show so what impressions did the debate leave you with certainly a marks not sharp in terms of rhetoric over the presidential contest. after the first debate between obama and romney political cartoonists true picture i don't hear those fighting each other with their noses this is no different these men went out of their way to live through it it's interesting how stupid they are at it but it was are not recognize that. you might be interested note also that there is only one thing they agreed on an entire debates and that was russia even though they were nasty about russia cajuns of iran and syria they said that the reset of relations with russia is not working and they blamed russia for using the united
12:09 am
nations to provide for sanctions on iran. apparently they don't understand the purpose the united nations. it was one lie after another. it was amazing that on libya for example all they could talk about was the fact that some al qaeda people had killed the american ambassador they didn't mention kind of people are going to syria they didn't mention that osama bin laden was ahead of al qaida and were the vice president probably admitted that they had killed him and that neither side would attack the other on things in which they were vulnerable and the first debate with the president. there was discussion of the simpson bowles deficit reduction commission and a variety was to attack that point about having been a member but not supporting that. well if you if you read the original proposal you see that the chairperson had said we should close one third of americans overseas military bases and yet neither candidate was going to make any political fodder out
12:10 am
of that number is why did it get so hostile all the differences between the two sides really so great well the differences are not great and that's why you have to pick these tiny little issues such as. for example right and said that why is it that the american ambassador in france is protected by marines but not in libya and that's something that the most casual voter in america can understand. it's all these petty little things that they hope will or. for example by biden said correctly that. ryan had voted to put the iraq and afghanistan wars on the credit card helping to cause the deficit is actually right he was right about that he didn't bother say the democrats will report he tried to pose as a political conservative by same i want to leave afghanistan do it he'll save
12:11 am
american taxpayers eight hundred billion dollars. if they had real cuts we could save on more than that is the simpson bowles commission had suggested right and of course treated as a political football by saying you know we want to make the american navy smaller than it was before world war one to witness is not what the way to peace only strength is the way to peace yet paul ryan channel seemed to be out front of military for rays hinting at so prolonged stay in afghanistan action against iran even see what do you make of that why yes. he's one of the ones who says that the only way to pieces by total world domination by total military power. and. at the same time is claiming that he's a fiscal conservative and is going to save the country from budget deficits it's a total lie. we are wasting vast amounts of money on the list wars we are

supporting across the leaders in many countries we are the cause of many problems around the world and yet. he had the gall to say that iran was the world's leading supporter of a terrorism for example. he had a golden opportunity to go to america obama last month obama's administration took the iranian m.-e. terrorists the ridge avi coulter evolved out of iran tears off their terrorist list . no. more terrorist organizations in the region than anybody else it's time for them to. go to the world. professor paul sheldon third from the california state university thank you very much indeed for sharing your views. and in a debate cross talk about his gas discounts just how different the candidates and their agendas really are the full shows coming your way later today but here's
12:13 am
a preview. you romney when the republicans win the white house they will also probably keep the majority in the howard's majority in the senate and if the republicans control all the important political positions the white house the senate and see house then you will see a huge difference america has a huge dept more than sixteen billion dollars that is more than one hundred percent of g.d.p. and the next four years will be about who pays for that and i can tell you it will be a huge difference was obama controls the white house or mitt romney controlled i think it misses the point the the fact is that you know you have any ideological debate to some degree during the campaign but when it comes to actually governing it's the same old story obama said lots of things during his campaign in any renounced virtually all of them when he became president and that's what you can expect with
12:14 am
mitt romney romney's god five positions on every single issue he's jumped forward and back. the leader of hezbollah has claimed responsibility for launching a skull drawn into israel during the weekend and violence to send more according to the lebanese resistance group the craft managed to reach sensitive locations including the dimona nuclear facility and political analyst come out was this means has the lies of radical. the message to the israeli it's message to the prime minister not to now has been like putting a lot of pressure on the obama administration to draw a lot of road lie in today i think i was about la crosse one of those red line and then there were the israeli air space for the first he didn't say for the first time he said that it's not the first time and probably would not be the last time i met a challenge israeli security after israel actually violated lebanese airspace in
12:15 am
the last five six years so i think hezbollah was able actually to make make the issue very challenging for the prime minister of israel and actually wanted to send very strong message to the israeli that there are ready and capable and they have the means and the well to do what it takes if a war break out in a regional level. prize season is in full swing and the headline grabbing piece of wood is each of eight given out on friday the prize was conceived by alfred nobel to full state fraternity between nations but as you can now report some recent winners have done more to fuel conflicts around the world than to combat. this isn't on the nobel peace prize is often politically motivated for a simple reason it's mostly about war and peace and we know that it's those with power who can wage or stop wars but where there is politics there is room for
12:16 am
argument here we have the nobel peace prize laureates from the last twelve years let's try and bring up some of those arguments kofi annan served as the u.n. secretary general from one thousand nine hundred seven to do thousand and six while in office is stood by the u.s. and supported the nato bombing of former yugoslavia essentially bypassing the u.n. security council the move set a precedent in the polls cold war war than in some sense paved the way for more unilateral interventions by the way as was the iraqi invasion so kofi annan received his prize in two thousand and one another you unofficial on the list mohamed el baradei who had served as the head of the u.n. nuclear watchdog for more than a decade until two thousand and nine he received the peace prize in two thousand and five years later mr el baradei announced that he regretted his silence over the u.s. invasion of iraq in two thousand and three at that time the un watchdog had no evidence
12:17 am
of your iraq having weapons of mass destruction and many argued mr el baradei could have done more to stop the invasion on false grounds but he didn't back to our list several us politicians among the awarded including president jimmy carter. from nine hundred seventy seven to nine hundred eighty one his peace prize in two thousand and two to those who remember that ministration helped indonesia slaughter tens of thousands of people in east timor then there was al gore a presidential nominee. who received the prize in two thousand and seven for raising awareness on climate change there were some arguments about that win as well and in two thousand and nine the nobel peace prize went to president obama probably the most arguable choice of the prize committee because at that time he was on less than one year into his presidency he has just announced the surge in afghanistan yes he was pulling out if iraq good the deadline for withdrawal had already been set by the bush administration and it's worth noting that bleeder the
12:18 am
obama administration was working behind the scene to persuade the iraqi government to ask for a certain number of american troops to stay on but the iraqis didn't go forward so there was only one known american head of state on the list king de jong awarded in the year two thousand the former president of south korea contributed to easing tensions with north korea and to the economic progress of his country whatever arguments were may have with regards to each of those laureates the nobel peace committee doesn't have to explain their toy such a process is known to be very secretive and they wouldn't even say who the other nominees were until fifty years after the prize was awarded in washington i'm going to. remember we've got plenty more lined out for you on hold on he's a taste of all that for you right now build a wall to look at your diamond ring the same way again astronomers have found a girl's best friend john planted twenty somethings of. success

transparency of court martial proceedings of alleged whistle blowing soldier bradley manning who may face life in prison the acts of its present as their argument to a panel of civilian chargers one of the campaign it says transparency is crucial in such an unprecedented case. all we're asking is that when we want to use these documents provide a context and we want to take some of the theories that are being floated in the room and ask legal experts be able to read actual documents so that. we can just create more understanding around what is happening is quite a high profile case and what is happening with this trial there are trailblazing legal theories where the government is alleging that bradley manning. aided the enemy which is a capital so it's incredibly critical that we would be able to use this information . and time to call solid business desk women renay is following all the market

legislation in the european union is the unelected european commission if any country were run like if supreme power wielded by twenty seven people were immune to the ballot box that would be regarded as an outrage. and yet the people who talk most fervently about turning the e.u. into something like a super state are remarkably relaxed about the undemocratic nature of it and from that basic lack of democracy you get the contempt for popular opinion you get the way sorts of side referendum results if they go the wrong way you get a sense that public opinion is an obstacle to overcome rather than a reason to change direction it is an extraordinary and sad paradox that twenty seven countries each of them a liberal parliamentary democracy in its own right have come together and accepted a system that would make zimbabwe look democratic and how did that happen exactly was its kind of creeping takeover.
